Question

Is it possible to get post partum depression 6 months after having a baby?

Share

I have been told that if you don't get PPD right after birth it is impossible to get it a few months later. I feel happy one moment the next moment I'm mad, I feel like crying alot(even though I don't cry), I can't sleep well, I feel guilty after I eat, and my biggest problem jet I developed some kind of hate feeling towards my husband during my pregnancy and it has not gone away.

yes hun you can get PPD up (some experts say) to a year after the baby is born. It sounds that you are experiencing some degree of PPD. I recommend you talk to your Dr. possibly get on some meds. If you are nursing some meds are better than others. Don't be afraid to talk about your feelings. Don't beat yourself up over this. Get through today don't worry about next week.
